View Poll Results: Which best defines your SE:V feelings based on the Demo?
SE:V is not ready to be sold. It needs a lot more work to be ready. Selling it now would do more harm than good for customer relations and hurt the overall success. I am willing to wait for a more refined product. 35 32.71%
SE:V should not be sold in its current state but could do ok on the market if released now. I'd still rather wait for a more refined game. 24 22.43%
SE:V could be sold now with moderate success. Based on Malfador's history of product support, patches will be issued. But I'm worried about the chances of improving the UI with patches. I'd wait to release. 32 29.91%
I'm pretty happy with the current state of SE:V. Based on the Demo, it should be sold soon. If patches are released or not, it's a pretty good game. I'm anxious to get the game soon, release it now. 12 11.21%
I think the game is good as it stands. I think the issues being raised are minor and can pretty easily be addressed in game as it stands. Most games have minor issues and I'm not complaining. Send it out! 3 2.80%
I am completely satisfied with SE:V based on the demo. I don't care if patches are ever released. I don't think the issues being raised by a small number of people represent the silent majority of potential customers. I am very anxious to get this game 1 0.93%

Except that Ive already bought the game (but would rather not vote that way). And there is also not one for "I think SEV went the wrong direction completely".

I was wondering if it was too soon to poll the question of whether they should be an SEV forum.
Which "wrong direction" ? SE5 is 90% SE4 concept- and gameplay-wise, do you refer to the new move to 3D ?
Although I'm not happy with the UI I still find the new graphics much better than SE4s, which looked like a spreadsheet more than a game at (numerous) times ...

And the SE5 forum is here isn't it ?
I would rather have seen an improved SEIV game (AI, UI, modding, etc) rather than an eye-candy bloated SEV game. Thats just my opinion but I feel that the scren is full of pretty pictures which slow down the game and make it harder to play at a decent speed. I also wonder if the 3D thing might not slow down the creation of new races which is one of the things I loved about SEIV was having something like 300 races in it. And giant maps (als0 modded in later by players). The SEIV out-of-the-box was a very tiney game, almost a demo itself, compared to what the player mods turned it into.

As for the forums, thats exactly my point. I would rather that the SEIV forums NOT become the SEV forum since Im beginning to doubt whether SEIV will die off now.

And I think Shrapnel would support the creation of such a forum. The fact that this forum has traffic is not really a selling point. The load and archiving of this forum is something that just makes me more appreciative that Shrapnel keeps these things running for its ex-products.
